Musk would probably be offended by that comment -- Nikola Tesla and Thomas Edison were bitter rivals and enemies.

I get the impression that Edison was more of a showman than a business man. Musk is at a whole other level.

Tesla is really great, but there exists a "take" on Edison that makes him also not so bad.

Here, listen to Linus talk about him a bit:
